github.com - VcfR is an R package intended to allow easy manipulation and visualization of variant call format (VCF) data. Functions are provided to rapidly read from and write to VCF files. Once VCF data is read into R a parser function extracts matrices from...

Comparative genomics links !

There are several bioinformatics tools that can be used to explore Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs), which are also known as microsatellites.

Bacterial comparative genomics, driven by bioinformatics, continues to unravel the complexities of bacterial life. From combating antibiotic resistance to uncovering the secrets of microbial evolution, this interdisciplinary field holds immense...

The study of biological pathways is a key to understand the different processes inside a cell: proteins exert their function not in isolation but in a tightly controlled network of interactions and reactions. Activation of a pathway typically leads...

sourceforge.net - Metassembler combines multiple whole genome de novo assemblies into a combined consensus assembly using the best segments of the individual assemblies. Genome assembly projects typically run multiple algorithms in an attempt to find the single best...

To decide which strategy should be our “preferred” genome assembly approach based on data rather than my gut-feeling about the “best assembly” I decided to do some testing with a known “true” reference E Coli K12 MG1655

github.com - wgd is a easy to use command-line tool for KS distribution construction named wgd. The wgd suite provides commonly used KS and colinearity analysis workflows together with tools for modeling and visualization, rendering these...
